Title: I Hit a wall, but still need to move...
Post by: Woody666 on December 05, 2008, 10:55:41 PM

Ok, well it has  been about a year and a half since i have coded in lua, none the less gmod lua but anyways more to the point: I want to make it so that every Wednesday of every week for 1 hour (5:30 to 6:30 EST) all players who's current usergroup is Player gets put into the Donator group. Once that hour has expired, then they are forced back into the player group. The most (that i think) i know as of right now is to use

Code: [Select]

schedule.Addalong with

Code: [Select]

game.ConsoleCommandIf anyone would be able to help me, it would be much appreciated. I will be back in a few hours; I am working the graveyard shift at work today.

If I recall correctly, the schedule library is inherently flawed and you shouldn't use it, ever. So, you should make a timer that checks if it's the time you want every so often. Other than that you're on the right track.
